Apple finds a use for some of those first-generation iPads
Cheaper, refurbished older models of tablets such as the iPad have a pretty extraordinary potential to do good around the world. Apple has just donated tons of them for use in Teach for America classrooms.
I think this could be huge for the growing democracy movement in Cuba. Spreading eBooks, films, and digital media to promote human rights on the island through tablet computers would be a creative and subversive way of giving Cubans an immense increase in access to information, with or without internet connectivity.
